| Tubes with Thiel CS-3.6's? has anyone had success? About the 2.4 woofer, I did learn that is does not feature the oversized 3" voice coil introduced on the 1.6, although the cone is still larger than the net cone size of the nominal 6 1/2" driver used in the smaller model. (A measured cone size sm... | |
| When is thiel going to upgrade the 3.6 Drubin accurately reports what I learned on this front, same as Kinsekd found. My best guess is that a replacement would be close to a year off at least, but I can't say based on what I was told whether it will be the next model introduced or not.... | |
| Old, beat-up recordings you still love. Geez Nate, come over to my house sometime - old, beat-up recordings are about all you'll find or hear (and I mean 'old' compared to what you listed! ;^) If I was rich, they might be old and not beat-up, but then again just finding 'em cheap is hal... | |
| VPI Magic Brick or Webster's Dictionary If a fourth little pig were to build his house out of VPI Bricks, could the big bad wolf of audio neurosis still blow it down? (BluTac for mortar no doubt...) | |
| Differences b/n KT-88 and EL-34 Amps? I would say not to focus on speculation about intrinsic tube sounds. Their particular implementation in a specific and total circuit is more of a determining factor in how any amp actually sounds. Even within a given circuit, it is my opinion that... | |
| Ever Have One Of Those Evenings? UPDATE: OK, here it is over four months after my speaker first went bad, and I'm finally back from Kentucky country with a supposedly fixed-up speaker (I haven't unpacked it yet, but of course it was tested by the factory before I left). It turned... | |
| Tubes with Thiel CS-3.6's? has anyone had success? That's interesting to know, Tmoran. I just got back from the Thiel factory where I took the tour, and it turns out that Thiel has, in the past, set up various models of their speakers in their own listening room with the same tube amps I use with ... | |
| How to test a cartridge? Aha! Mystery solved! Lesson #1 "One variable at a time", indeed...I'll bet you've just got to smile now at all the worry and effort you must have expended trying to crack a pretty unlikely double-failure. These things can nearly drive you insane s... | |
| How to test a cartridge? So it would seem the cartridge is outputting a signal from both channels, and the left channel signal is apparently getting lost somewhere later on down the chain.Let me just reconfirm what you've tried here - At least *two* entirely and completel... | |
| strange effects from system rearranging.. Yes, you do what you can, when you can. Having to place a bed in between you and the speakers before would have been a problematic acoustic obstacle, and likely would have actually absorbed (rather than reflected) some of the radiated sound, besid... | |
| low cost integrated amp for newbie Fishinfool's advice, while not totally incorrect as far as it goes, to me seems a little beside the point, considering that any major future system upgrade (if Ann decides to go that way) will likely mean improving upon any small integrated amp bo... | |
| How to test a cartridge? Correct - let us know what happens, this is truly a mystery for the time being... | |
| Thanks to all replying to cd sounding like LP. I was speaking more 'in point of theory' than anything having directly to do with the thread-head's question, just regarding what a few of the comments in your post seemed to imply about what to possibly expect and what not to expect from a speake... | |
| strange effects from system rearranging.. I too am a little confused by your description - if you're so close to the plane of the speakers (or especially to the speakers themselves - I'm not sure which you mean), and the tweeters are aimed a foot in front of you, the speakers must either ... | |
| Thanks to all replying to cd sounding like LP. Newbee, I respect your opinions - and am not claiming that a cable-swap is the prescription here - but I think your post misses the point even as it implicitly acknowledges it: Yes, it is true that speaker cables cannot actively 'increase' bass le... |
